Colored rubbers and a bedroom set
I wouldn't know it if it hit me
You take a little step and then it feels like love
I think I better get a little of it in me
Give me a kiss, I think it feels like love
Give me a kiss, I think it feels like sunshine
C'mon baby, light me up
I wanna look into your eyes until I go blind
You think that you can do without me
I can't do anything at all
You think that you can do without me
But I don't believe in Sundays
And I don't believe in anything at all
Your mother made you in a parking lot
My mother made me out of flesh and wire
Try to remember what you might forget
I try to remember everything
Try to remember so you don't disappear
Try to remember so you don't fade away
Your mother made you out of smoke and rain
Your mother made you in a fire that's fading
You think that you can do without me
And I can't do anything at all
You think that you can do without me
But I don't believe in Sundays
And I don't believe in anything at all
I wanna touch you for the things I'm losing
I wanna touch you for my self-respect
Give me a reason or I might stop breathing
Give me a reason why I'm soaking wet
Gotta stop breathing 'cause the sky is falling
I might go out and watch the moon explode
Give me directions to the highway crossing
I'll go lie down in the middle of the road
And you think that you can do without me
I can't do anything at all
You think that you can do without me
But I don't believe in Sundays
And I don't believe in anything at all
I don't believe in Sundays
And I don't believe and I don't believe in anything, in anything
And I don't believe and I don't believe in anything, in anything
And I don't believe and I don't believe in anything, in anything
And I don't believe and I don't believe in anything, in anything

I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
Monday through Saturday I get by just fine
Every other day of the week I feel alright
But I don't know why
I don't know why
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
Sunday's supposed to be the day for kicking off your shoes
But how come that's the day I always get the blues
And I don't know why
I don't know why
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
Ever since you had to go I just carry on
But deep down inside I know there's something wrong
And I don't know why
I don't know why
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday

Please tell me how you lift these heavy bricks
And how you built this path for me to walk on
Carve yourself in stones with the strength of all convinced
But I know your skin is still as thin as mine
And what does it take to believe
In all the things you believe?
And maybe I need to listen more carefully
I finally know how you stand
Against the worst there is
You enjoy coffee and Debussy
I can't believe the calmness in your bones after everything
And when she dreams she sees herself in her Sunday dress
Humming simple melodies, she's known since she was only three
And what does it take to believe
In all the things you believe?
And maybe I need to listen more carefully
I finally know how you stand
Against the worst there is
I finally found the strength
You've tried to tell me about
Oh, even when the sky is crashing down
You, you locked your knees and stood up straight
You are the strength inside my veins
Oh, I want to feel the strength you know
What does it take to believe
In all the things you believe?

Burning questions we are told they've gone out
Time you learned your lesson we all know that
Tell me boys are you out there?
The flesh is weak and the mind slow
By now, you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me, and it seemed to get into me
And it poured down over me and I'm wettin', wettin' through
But I still want more
Peace love now what?
Don't go telling me you've had them
Oh, delighted
We all know we won't be alive any more
By now you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me, and it seemed to get into me
And I'm soaked to my skin and I'm wettin', wettin' through
I really ought to be in, will you let me have a sign?
And somebody ought to reply, and we'll take anything at all
Understand me, fun times we have known
That's what we're like, we've just taken them all
And I still don't remember how I got home
Don't tell me where we're going, now I know we won't be alive any more

dig down to the earth here outside
lose my mind here any day now
don't be sad, we're only half way there
o no, that's what I call home
you remember the hills we slithered down
";I'm not going anywhere";
you lied
hell on my own
hell here on my own
and don't go imagining that time is medicine
mark those days & swallow your pills
proud of my wise head on young shoulders
too bad there was nothing there at all
hell on my own
hell here on my own and it was such a really cold hand
I held as the wind sighed
";I'm not going & how could I lie?";
just be glad there's no way back there
I need another look at before
though heaven knows how I'd ever
make my way back there
and I need another look at before
although heaven knows how I'd ever
make my way back there
now I know it's hopeless
and I realise it's nowhere
hell here on my own

here dive below, here I go
we're on the shore, down by the sea
here I go
water under's cool
we're the life and soul
here on the shore, we're going to be
here I go
it's all my sea
all my blue

the Lone Ranger sold his wardrobe
the Lone Ranger sold his bad dog
well you saw him and you could hardly know
cos times change.... I know
some days he's more than humble
on some days he's cold and mad, mad as hell
well you saw him and you can hardly know
it's so strange.... and well I, I know
those lakes of golden water
those lakes of gold are all running out
well you saw him and you could hardly know
it's so strange... and well I, I know
joy, joy, joy
work, work, work harder
sure as the hours
joy, joy, joy
work, work, work harder
you say

when the weather's fine, when it's sunny outside
think about the time I kicked a boy 'til he cried
oh, I could've been wrong, but I don't think I was
he's such a child
when I am alone, I remember so well
how merrily I tripped a boy so he fell
oh I could've been wrong, but I don't think I was
he's totally wild
and I've been wondering lately just who's gonna save me
now I have a cold, and no story to tell
I'd marry you but I'm so unwell
and I could've been wrong
well I don't think I was
he's totally wild
and I've been wondering lately
just who's gonna save me
yes you should've been wise
oh hysterical child
where'd you learn to do that

lying awake dead of night and eyes that never close
flowers decay - a still life calls for a change
I can¡¯t wait, forever
miles away dead of night and it¡¯s quiet as the grave
when there¡¯s more in your head than you find in your life
calls for a change
I can¡¯t wait, forever
and the days and the hours and the years
keep turning in my mind
I¡¯ve been waiting forever

I vow that it's goodbye
I vow that it's goodbye and God bless
Why did we have to assume
We're exactly the same, oh no no
Talking about yourself, self, self
I vow that it's goodbye to the old ways
Those stories were a good read
They were dumb as well, I could never be seen
Falling down on my knees crawling, oh no no
Talk about a sell sell sell
Oh as the Heavens shudder baby I belong to you
Oh they said you get what you deserve
And all they said was true
So is this what it's come to?
Am I cold or just a little bit warm oh well

And I'm standing on a platform
Now I'm staring from a train
And all the trees roll back beside but I'm so oblivious
To the dark, to the light, it's all the same
You gave me so much and now it's of the earth
And it makes me cry
(It makes me cry, it makes me cry)
It can make me cry
And you're standing here beside me
In a picture in a frame
And your voice could never fade, it's so familiar
Things you said in my head every day
You gave me so much and now it's of the earth
And it makes me cry
(It makes me cry, it makes me cry)
And it can make me cry
You're with me so much
Though you're never with me anymore
And it makes me cry
(It makes me cry, it makes me cry)
It can make me cry
(Oh, it makes me cry, it makes me cry)

few true cares have I
as the world turns round
I was blind but now I'm still blind
too few cares have I
as the world turns sour
I was blind but now I'm still blind
I liked you for 24 hours
in your house
and when the time has come to live again
I shall
and I liked you for 24 hours in your house
and now the time has come to live again
I shall I liked you but that was before
why me?
I never knew then and I don't know now
o the things you do all come back to you
that's why I hung back but I'll say what I like now

you ask me why I¡¯ll tell you then
two worlds collide we bury them
we¡¯re far too drunk to see these things as they are
you painted me and I sat quite still
a tiny room in Notting Hill
it was far too dark to look at things as they are
I¡¯ve seen the light vanish out of your eyes
(aah oh no, from your eyes, aah oh)
so goodbye you tell me now I¡¯m young and wild
you spare the rod and you spoil the child
I¡¯d love to stay but I think I¡¯m off to Japan anyway
I¡¯ve seen the light vanish out of your eyes
(aah oh no, from your eyes, aah oh)
so goodbye
(from your eyes, aah oh no, where has it gone?)
your eyes have lost their shine

over the rooftops a plane in the sky
beat of a bass drum cars passing me by
under a bridge dark then back into light
a river of raincoats and a forest of faces
still for a moment then red into green
slow shuffling shoes whisper sight unseen
row upon row of houses return an empty stare
let the daydream for a little while longer
ah.. yeah...
hope I¡¯ll never wake
when I¡¯m thinking about you
(yeah) hope I¡¯ll never wake
cos now I¡¯m thinking about you
two-minute hailstorm then melts into rain
(oh) sing me a rainbow it¡¯s sunny again
swallows overhead while the traffic snarls below
could I (could I) keep dreaming for a little while longer
hope I¡¯ll never wake
when I¡¯m thinking about you
so that you know - I never want to wake
cos now I¡¯m thinking about you
when you¡¯re searching your soul
when you¡¯re searching for pleasure
how often, pain is all you find
but when you¡¯re coasting along and nobody¡¯s trying too hard
you can turn around and like where you are
(Yeah and) I hope I never wake
when I¡¯m thinking about you
and I close my eyes (dear)
now I¡¯ll never never wake
why should I stop thinking about you

You've stolen my heart
And I want you to remember
Now what'll I do living alone?
You've stolen my heart
And it hurts me to remember
'Cause now where'll I go to living alone?
And a butterfly in the wind is drifting like I do
It's dumb, I know what I want to say
But I can't even take one breath
As night falls
I hear voices on the radio
I'll follow their dreams and wake up alone
And a butterfly in the wind is drifting like I do
It's dumb, I know what I want to say
But I can't even take one breath
So now still burning silently away

summer sky and a throat bone dry
and the fields are all gold
dusty lane with a song in my brain
and it stoned me to my soul
I climb higher move towards the fire.....blaze sun
silver trees and a whispering breeze
are my sight and my sound
the thought of heaven couldn¡¯t drag me from the path
when I¡¯m wandering here alone
I climb higher move towards the fire.... so blaze sun
watch until it dies slow falling from the sky
pale fading sun

ooh, let me take a candle to a cellar tonight
and I'd like to take some matches there and set it alight
I can, cos I've seen those kind of places before
ooh, I'd like to have a party in a cellar tonight
and I'd love to have a party but it wouldn't be right
I shan't, cos I've seen those kind of people before
I won the war in the sitting room
I won the war but it cost me
I won the war and I feel proud
but I don't know why it's hard to get to sleep in my house
ooh, I have to pull the blankets up to cover my head
and I have to pull the blankets right up
but I don't know why it's hard to get to sleep in my house
well you keep following the feel of the fire
it's not difficult to see that you're
young and selfish, and liberty and money, don't go
let me take a candle to a cellar tonight
and you should see the parties we've had before
give me the time, give me the time
give me your watchword, give me whatever you like
(soon we'll be free)
I won the war in the sitting room
I won the war but it cost me
I won the war and I feel proud
but God only knows why it's hard to get to sleep in my house
ooh (supercilious smile)
ooh (you're supercilious so....)
well you keep following the feel of fire
it's not difficult to see that you're
beautiful and young, and critical of nothing
and you keep following the feel of fire
it's not difficult to see that you're
beautiful and young, but liberty and money, don't go

live your life, have your say
read your stars, day by day
if I could have anything in the world for free
I wouldn't share it with anyone else but me
oh, live your life, go your way
and I said oh no
live your life, stake your claim
wash your clothes, change your name
ooh, and I said oh, no, no
if I could have anything in the world for free
I wouldn't share it with anyone else but me
ooh, ah.... you're too twisted by half.... but that's far enough
so live your life, build a home
and fill it full of flowers and a bottle of old cologne
yeah, if I could have anything in the world for free
I wouldn't share it with anyone else but me
except perhaps a certain someone
except perhaps a certain someone
except perhaps a certain someone
just to be shown another way out
you're too twisted by half..... but that's far enough
oh, I'd be careful living in a block of flats
and I never take the lift to the top
no I never take the lift to the top
Ah, you're too twisted by half
but that's far enough
take a swim round, take a look down
I'll never believe what we've found
we figured it out, we figured it out
we lived in a house, in a cold room

when people say it's sad
you know it can't be bad
and on any other day I'd be soul destroyed
but now I can't afford to listen to a word they say
and of all the times we had
o the ultimate late night
didn't taste right
true words that I should know
blood on my hands
when you looked around I couldn't be found
a crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
now I find that I'm thigh deep
too young for the worst of my mind
you whispered behind me
";if I may make so bold";
call it young & wild
but I ran a mile in a minute and there's no going back
true words that I should know
blood on my hands
when you looked around I couldn't be found
a crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
true words I said to myself
as the wind chilled my bones
";home alone, you call that a late night?";
when people say you're dead
you know you caught their eye
and on any other day I'd be soul destroyed
but that's just not the way now
I don't mind telling you
nothing is quite what it seems
true words that I should know
must have been blood on my hands
when you look around I couldn't be found
a crime's a crime but I don't mind
true words that I should know well
but surely by now I could say to myself
";the days are getting longer so I better get stronger fast";
surely by now?

Do some people wind up with the one that they adore
In a heart-shaped hotel room it's what a heart is for
The bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high?
Hello partner, kiss your name bye-bye
Ooh sometimes...
Romantic piscean seeks angel in disguise
Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes
Liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male
Hello partner, tell me love can't fail
& it's you and me in the summertime
We'll be hand in hand down in the park
With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
& all the sunshine banishes the dark
Do some people wind up with the one that they abhor
In a distant hell-hole room, the third world war
But all I see is films where colourless despair
Meant angry young men with immaculate hair
Ooh sometimes...
Get up a voice inside says there's no time for looking down
Only a pound a word & you're talking to the town
But how do you coin the phrase though that will set your soul apart
Just to touch a lonely heart
& it's you & me in the summertime
We'll be hand down in the park
With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
& all the sunshine banishes the dark
& it's you I need in the summertime
As I turn my white skin red
Two peas from the same pod yes we are
Or have I read too much fiction?
Is this how it happens?
How does it happen?
Is this how it happens?

She?s all weak
And her heart beats so
She can?t speak
With the lights so low
Just to be one of a crowd
Feet scuttling across the floor
Spinning lights 'round and 'round
It?s adolescent war
She craves noise and the music blares
Girl calls to a boy
(And my heart is true, oh to you)
He just stands and stares
Just to be one of a crowd
Feet scuttling across the floor
Spinning lights round and round
And it?s adolescent war
Shoes grind kick like crazy
And arms tangling up with hair
Shaking them up and down again
And hearts pounding everywhere
She slows down
Has the music gone

It's 4 in the morning July in '69
Me and my sister, we crept down like shadows
They're bringing the moon
Right down to our sitting room
Static and silence and a monochrome vision
They're dancing around
Slow puppets silver ground
And the world is watching with joy
We hear a voice from above and it's history
And we stayed awake all night
And something is said
And the whole room laughs aloud
Me and my sister looking on like shadows
The end of an age as we watched them walk in a glow
Lost in space, but I don't know where it is
They,re dancing around
Slow puppets silver ground
And the stars and stripes in the sand
We hear a voice from above and it's history
And we stayed awake all night
They're dancing around
It sends a shiver down my spine
And I run to look in the sky and
I half expect to hear them asking to come down
Oh, will they fly or will they fall

Picture myself as a thin white child
Back to the day, I was born on
They slapped me into line as it crossed my mind
I've felt better, I've felt worse
This is my life and it's all very well
But never, never, never again
As they say, "We've been robbed"
You don't know that this time
Love, love, love
Just love yourself like no one else
Love, it's enough
And they can say what they like
But they still can't take that
Distance myself from the things I'd like but
Everyone has something I need
Don't let me wake up and find
All those others leaving me behind
Well, if you don't have a clue about life
Then I'm happy, happy, happy to say
Neither have I although I'm not going to shrug my shoulders
And suck my thumb, this time
'Cos there's something I deserve
Love, love, love
Just love yourself like no one else
Love, it's enough
And they can say what they like
But they still can't take that
Picture my house in a postcard town
Picture a bomb in the sky
History at the door, who could ask for more
I've felt better and I've felt better
So kill me with love, love, love
Just love yourself like no one else
Love, it's enough
'Cos they can say what they like
But they still can't take your
Love, love, love
Just love yourself like no one else
Time's so scarce where I come from
Let them say what they like
But they still can't take your
Love, love, love
Just love yourself like no one else's
Loves, loves, love
'Cos they can say what they like
But they still can't take your
Love, love, love
Just love yourself like no one else

Gone forever, the writing on the wall
They've boarded-up the cinema
Strawberry dreams and the dust-filled beams
Shut down in a modern town
See you walking, see you talking
Recollection on streets you used to know
Forgotten pleasures smoulder
Images fade but the town won't let them go
Sleepwalking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
Oh, leave this city behind you
Drive wherever the roads will take you to
Down beside a river frozen brown
January days and their scarecrow trees
So cold feel your ears burn
See you walking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
Oh leave this city behind you
Past and present they converge on every side
The wires all get tangled when now and then collide
Bittersweet taste of a time and another place before
Sleep walking, see you talking
Feel the city inside you
Oh feel this city define you

I feel fine, don't wake me up yet
O the young and the old they get everything
And it's my turn
And I'm here, I'm someone to know
I'm calling the tune but
But I'm losin' the words
Laughingly, I take the fevered applause
Of the people by the riverside
And I'm walking, walking on water, God knows why
I'm losin' the words, losin' the words
I am a man, well nearly
Celebrate life, be good to yourself
Yeah, that's all, don't wake me like that
I was dreaming and I'd rather just carry on
Just give me a love and hate on both my hands
I'll show you what I'm made of
Wastin' my breath when I say that
Yeah, that's all, don't wake me like that
I was dreaming and I'm tired of everyone
Here's hopin' that you'll
Go now so long leave me, leave me alone
Alone better alone
Just give me a love and hate on both my hands
I'll show you what I'm made of
Wastin' my breath when I say that
Love, hate on my pair of hands
That's where I, where I began
Just be good, good to yourself
I feel fine, don't wake me up yet 'cos I feel tired well
Well, don't be like that and we don't need to work any more now

People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how people look down
They're on the inside
Here's where the story ends
People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh, I never should have said, the books that you read
Were all I loved you for
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
And it's the memories of your shed that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Oh, here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would've thought the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for
Oh, the Devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong
It's that little souvenir of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
Here's where the story ends

Fashion, the timing's all wrong
They taste another flavor
And pretty soon you're gone
Fashion, this time it's too late
You knew you'd have to pay for this one day
He loves me now, he loves me not
He loves me once again
Usual story, another surprise
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Fashion, this time it's alright
They tickle you with a feather
They tell you you're sublime
Turn on to each their own
Usual story, another surprise
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Fashion, the timing was wrong
Your friends are fair weather
You knew it all along
Turn on to each their own
It's doing my mind in another surprise
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Don't let them black you out for the evening
Sad, happy sufferer no, no, no
Don't let them crack you, try not to feel it

where's the harm in voicing a doubt
you'll find me in the lavatory
and where's the harm in talking out loud when I'm on my own
what's so wrong with reading my stars
when I'll be in the lavatory
and what is so wrong with counting the cars when I'm all alone
you're not the only one that I know
and I'm too proud to talk to you anyway
you're not the only one that I know
and I'm far too proud to talk to you any day
so I say I'm in love with the world
and what is so wrong with voicing a doubt when I'm on my own
it's perfectly fine to sleep in a chair
from Monday 'til Saturday
and what is so wrong with talking out loud when I'm all alone
you're not the only one that I know
and I'm too proud to talk to you anyway
you're, you're not the only one that I know
but I'm far too proud to talk to you any day
so they rode out west to the seaside
and they gladly decided to stay
after two hours wandering outside
ooh the sea air drove them away, yeah
you're not the only one that I know
and I'm too proud to talk to you anyway
you're not the only one that I know
and I'm far too proud to talk to you any day
you're not the only one
but I'm far too proud you're (son)
you're young
but I know, I know, I know, I know
I'm far too proud to talk to you any day
but if you do, don't you know
that I don't mind, no, no, no

I need a night off but I'll take all year
will you take any message?
I need a night off
I can't stay here
I'm sure to find a way out of this
I need a night off just read my lips
are you getting the message?
I'm sick as a dog
but I'll just say this
you're as sick as I am
so what do you think about me?
what do you think about me?
everyone around me is driving me mad
here I go along this road
feeling I don't want to slow down
these days of obsession
I need a night off because life's too dear
let me show you my photographs
see me work, see me rest
see me play
o I'm sure I had it better back then so what do you think about me?
I couldn't live without me
but everything about me is driving me mad
here I go along this road
feeling I don't want to slow
run so hard, I lose my breath
one thing I don't want to know now
these days of obsession
delirious and uncertain still
and will they always stay uncertain still?

you know, and I've been wondering
you know, all the way home
whether the world will see
I'm a better man than others by far
you know, I've had it so good
how loathsome, and not quite my style
work and vanity wasted my time inside
oh, you see me in a cardigan
and a dress, dress, dress that I've been sick on
oh how are you
can't say I really care at the end of it all
actually, oh, well there's something I've found
it's that we're just flesh and blood
and well, now, just one thing I've found
it's that we're just flesh and blood
and you know, and I've been wondering
you know, all the way home
whether the world will see
I'm a better man than others by far ooh how are you
I shan't say I really care at the end of it all
actually oh, there is something I've found
it's that we're just flesh and blood
well, now, there's one thing I've found
it's that we're just skin and bones
actually oh, there's something I've found
it's that we're just flesh and blood
and you're nothing much more
there's something, just something I've found
it's that we're just flesh and blood
and we're nothing much more
oh no, what did I do wrong
individual doubts
just one thing I've found
we're just flesh and blood
nothing much more
something, just something I've found
that we're skin and bones
yeah

don't ask me why, don't ask me why
I'll join the army, the Salvation Army but it didn't help
don't ask me why, don't ask me why
I joined the army, but it drove me barmy and it didn't help
hideous towns make me throw up
don't ask me why, don't ask me why
I went into service with the Civil Service but it didn't help
don't ask me why, don't ask me why
I went into service but it made me nervous and it didn't help
ooh, hideous towns made me throw up
and sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will just finish me off, yeah near enough
oh oh, my hopeless youth it's so uncouth
and oh, I'd like to be in history
I said oh in my hopeless youth just so uncouth
so there you go and now you know
but just please don't
don't ask me why, don't ask me why
I went to the circus, Piccadilly Circus, it was very strange
don't ask me why, cos I don't know why
never one to roam, I took the first bus home, and I haven't changed
ooh, hideous towns made me throw up
and I know sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will just finish me off, yeah near enough
yes they do
said oh, my hopeless youth it's so uncouth
said oh, and I'd like to be in history
said oh in my, hopeless youth it's just so uncouth
so there you go, and now you know
but just please don't.... please, please, please
said oh, yeah my hopeless youth just so, damn, oh oh
yeah my hopeless youth is really very young
just really very young

looking for an insult there's a trickle in my head
seeing it's worth the effort I forgive myself
talks that we had are becoming a blur
if only I could love my neighbour
waiting here for the next time with a bottle in my hand
doing it for the exercise I forget myself
the face thet you had is becoming a blur
but how was I supposed to know that?
because God made me
that's all they told me before
and how about you?
and it's off to work we go
now you can forget about a labour of love
it just won't wash anymore
we'd love to be good but we'd rather be bad
but how was I supposed to know that?
because God made me
that's all they told me before
and how about you?
because God made people
that was the luck of the draw
we do what we want
God made me
that's what they told me before
who knows what they'll say today?
because God made me for his sins
imagine my eyes when I first saw
we can do what we want
how could I know?
how could I know about it?

give me a story and give me a bed
give me possessions
oh love luck and money they go to my head like wildfire
it's good to have something to live for you'll find
live for tomorrow
live for a job and a perfect behind, high time
England my country the home of the free, such miserable weather
but England's as happy as England can be
why cry
and did you know desire's a terrible thing
the worst that I could find
and did you know desire's a terrible thing
but I rely on mine, a-ah
England my country the home of the free, such miserable weather
but England's as happy as England can be
why cry
and did you know desire's a terrible thing
the worst that I could find
and did you know desire's a terrible thing
but I rely on mine
did you know desire's a terrible thing
it makes the world go blind
but if desire, desire's a terrible thing
you know that I really don't mind
and it's my life
and though I can't be sure what I want any more
it will come to me later
well it's my life.... and it's my life
and though I can't be sure if I want any more
it will come to me later... ah, yeah

dream and fantasize
Slave to your desire, you'll buy anything
Curse and criticize
middle-aged and at your door
and they're selling you the son of God
it's so hard to ignore
You want so much and then you want some more
somehow your appetite grows
you'd just love what you can't possess
you know it's out there somewhere
read and memorize
make a wish come true
and you can telephone free
eyes and ears and mouth and nose
in a face that you compose
but it cuts you like never before it's so hard to ignore
You want so much and then you want some more
somehow your appetite grows
you'd just love what you can't possess
you know it's out there
somewhere
it's so hard to ignore
You'd really love so much
and then you'd go spoil yourself with more
strange how your appetite's grown
till you're just lying in a corner upstairs
looking out there
somewhere

and she's walking on the edge of a knife
and she knows it's the death of her
Sarah you live & you learn you're invisible
and she's walking on the edge of a crowd
late at night you can never tell
town from town
sounds of England swallow you down
makes you want to laugh
could a heaven on earth be ours here & now?
and she says ";what's in my palm? read between the lines
give me something to savour
can you do that? cos I'll believe anything
and I say
when you're hoping for some more from your life
shouldn't wonder you've had enough
and in my town
sounds of England swallow you down
and a heaven on earth is all ours but not now
I tell you when a heaven on earth is all ours
come on down

when the world, it shows me up
my clothes, they show me up
I never knew this before
the finest hour that I've ever known
was finding a pound on the Underground
when my words came stumbling out
then I went tumbling out
I've never been hit before
the finest hour that I've ever known
was finding a pound on the Underground
and I keep hoping you are the same as me
and I'll send you letters and come to your house for tea
we are who we are, what do the others know
but poetry is not for me, so show me the way to go (home)
when the words came stumbling out of my mouth
and I went tumbling out (here, no no, no no)
but I keep hoping you are the same as me
and I'll send you letters and come to your house for tea
we are who we are, what do the others know
but poetry is not for me, so show me the way to go
oh, I'm going home
but I'll keep hoping you are the only one
yes, and I'll send you letters, oh, wouldn't it be such fun
oh, we are who we are, whatever the others say
but poetry is not for me, as much as I'd like to stay
oh, I just want to go home
you're, you're, you're too young
should've been, you, you're, you're too young
it should've been, you too, you're too, you're too young
it should've been, you, you, you're too young
you should've been... safe here
bribed the judge and then sat down
ooh, you're, you're, you're too young

Home from this sun, this room is a mess
18 hours till I come back from this sparkled end
Still I’ve searched my photographs
And everybody looks the same
I’ve tried searching your eyes for some new beginning
Sundays nobody near
Through me eyes yesterday’s clear
This dark radio has so much sound
On Sundays when no one’s around
Tomorrow I’ll forget the darkness within
But today I’ll remember my lights
To hold up five memories in a picture still
I remember five memories because no one else will
Today’s so here and tomorrow’s no where to be seen
Sundays nobody near
Through me eyes yesterday’s clear
This dark radio has so much sound
On Sundays when no one’s around
To lay awake dreaming the morning before
Nothing is happening, leaving no more
The house in the sand, all covered in gold
Sundays come up
19 hours they hold
The sun in my half window glows over the wood
No stars yet, but their falling
Falling back to the wood
Sundays nobody near
Through me eyes yesterday’s clear
This dark radio has so much sound

How long have you struggled here?
How long have we tried?
Don't turn your back on me,
I'm dying inside.
Is there a yearning inside,
That keeps the spirit breaking.
Is there a yearning inside?
That reminds us we'll succeed?
I've lost once before,
I'm older now.
Sometimes i cannot remember,
But sometimes cannot forget.
I've lost once before,
I'm older now!
But sometimes i forget my age!
Is there a yearning inside,
That keeps the spirit breaking.
Is there a yearning inside?
That reminds us we'll succeed?
Sundays, Sundays!
How long have you struggled here?
How long have we tried?
Don't turn your back on me,
I'm dying inside.
Is there a yearning inside,
That keeps the spirit breaking.
Is there a yearning inside?
That reminds us we'll succeed?
